(www.zamage.com), (Pink Sheets:ZMGD) the world's leading publisher of photo-to-art artwork using proprietary processes, is pleased to announce it has signed an agreement with Sid Shaw, the leading promoter of Elvis and Elvis memorabilia in the world to join the Advisory Board. "This is a great achievement," says Stewart Irvine, CEO of Zamage. "Sid Shaw is recognized as the leading promoter of Elvis in the world and we are very excited to have him join our Advisory Board as a consultant." Licensing Agreements with Elvisly Yours will also enable Zamage to market and sell a range of Elvis Presley memorabilia throughout the world, especially through the planned chain of "Elvisly Yours Restaurants" (www.elvisly-yours.com). Since 1979 Sid Shaw's name has been synonymous with Elvis Presley. He launched his company in 1978 and registered "Elvisly Yours" as a trademark in 1979. By the following year, the company was the leading supplier of Elvis souvenirs and memorabilia in the world. He achieved worldwide fame at the end of the 1990's after waging an eight-year court battle with Elvis Presley Enterprises in the UK over trademark rights to Elvis Presley merchandise. He eventually won landmark Judgements in the UK High Court and Court of Appeals. His influence is worldwide, extending even to Russia. His business dealings in that country made Elvis a household name in the late 1980s and early 1990s with "Presleynost" and "Presleystroika." In fact, a Anglo-Russian business venture in 1992 was opened by none other than Vladimir Putin, then Deputy Mayor of St. Petersburg. "I am very excited to be working with Zamage and "The Art Of The King" project. Elvis is one of the top ten brand names in the world and together we can revolutionize the Elvis Presley market in memorabilia," says the 'King' of Elvis promotions, Sid Shaw.
